Wishlist ⎢Getting ready for the cold

1. Plaid coat (here) // 2. Black skirt (here) // 3. White turtle neck sweater (here) 

4. Beige woolen coat (here) // 5. Grey turtle neck sweater (here)

It's in the air, you can feel that cold wind blowing at your face in the morning going to work therefore it's time to refresh my wardrobe and get myself some new coats, new turtle neck and new winter skirt. With no surprises my winter wardrobe revolves around black, white, grey and beige. I'm super basic when it comes to colors, you'll never see me wearing red boots or pink coat even less during winter time. 

That being said, I was contacted by SheInside to pick an item from their website and do a review on it. Until it arrives I'm sharing you my picks from their website for cold weather. I'm obsessed with the beige coat (here), which looks super similar - I mean it's literally the same -  for one I saw at Zara the other day. I can't wait to try it and see how it looks. On the coat department, I'm also head over heels with this black and white plaid coat (here).

The turtle necks are a must this season, so I had to incorporate them in my picks (here / here). Also, a black pleated skirt (here) is a staple in every wardrobe especially for winter with a cute pair of ankle boots and a loose sweater on top. 

Oh my, I'm getting excited about fall/winter fashion so much. 

I can't wait for this week as the weather is going to drop pretty drastically.

Event ⎢Sisley Phyto Expert

Hi girls! Yes, this is real. It's happening : a post after a long two weeks of time off from the blogosphere. I don't even know what happened myself to be quite honest. Time just flew by so quickly since my birthday and we're already in October. Jeez! Time to buy some new coats and some wool scarves. Yay!

This week I went to a Sisley event in Brussels after a long day of work with Lindsay. It had been a long time since we saw each other so we had a lot to talk and gossip - oops - about haha.  We had so much fun discovering at Sisley's headquarters for the launch of their new Phyto Expert foundation. After a few hours of laughs and sipping on champagne we left with an even more amazing goodie bag. 

The foundation Phyto Teint Expert looks a-ma-zing and super luxurious, it's long lasting and is meant to enhances the surface of the skin to provide a smoother, healthier looking skin. It's oil free and also non-comedogenic which is super important in my opinion. I don't want no foundation messing with my pores. The most amazing part of this foundation is the weight less formula. I've had the opportunity to try it the other day and it feels so comfortable on the skin and stays all day. I'm super impressed so far. I'll do a proper review on this later as I need to experiment a little bit more with it.

Thank you Sisley for having us, it was lovely!

Inside Lauren Conrad's home

Until I get my hands on her wedding US weekly cover, here's the pictures from Lauren's dream home from InStyle Magazine. Oh my god, I die!!! I love everything, it's perfect. The dressing, the makeup table, the living room, the kitchen... I wish she would still be filming her life in reality tv, could you imagine how perfect would that be?

I'm so excited about her wedding and read about all the details. I hope I'll find a copy of the magazine in Waterstone's Brussels * fingers crossed * I'll have a look tomorrow! Speaking of tomorrow, it's my last day of work before a week of fun and celebrations for my birthday! I'm so excited. Nothing crazy but some fun plans ahead :)

Playlist ⎟Changing

Hell down, heaven down, living in the same town, tryna find something new.
Broken picture frame, I've been frozen in, tryna find a better view

Everything is changing and I've been here for too long
Going through the same things, I've been hurting too long,
Got to move on

Cookie day

Hi girls! This is one of my favorite thing to do on sundays. Cook pastries and delicious meals. Last sunday I made a chocolate cake, today I made american cookies. They're so good, I love to eat them when they're still a bit warm. I'm not buying any cookies from the supermarket since I've tried making homemade cookies last year for the first time. They're much more mellow and tasty! If like me you love cookies and pastries, you should definitely try making them yourself it's much more 'healthier' and so easy to do!

Instalife #30

Hi girls! Oh my god, I haven't blogged in ten days? What? We're already mid-september? 

I have a wedding a need to attend tonight so I'll be showing you my makeup and outfit. I had an outfit ordered at Asos and I never arrived. Long story short, the first parcel got 'lost' and the second one - fast shipping - was supposed to arrive yesterday but...will not arrive until monday or tuesday. LOL. Great, thanks Asos, it's always a pleasure!

Anyways, I had a last minute wedding dress emergency so yesterday after work I had to pick a dress and there was absolutely nothing I liked. The only -ok- dress I have found was at H&M. I hope it will look good! I also went to the hair dresser and got my hair color fixed. I was in a serious need of a blonde fix. Now I'm more of a dark blonde, I love the color it's perfect for fall! 

I need to start getting ready as the wedding is really far away from where I live. I can't wait though, I LOVE wedding!!!

Have a lovely day,

MARILOU
